1. A method for providing redundancy to a port of a wired data telecommunications network, the method comprising:

  • coupling a first interface of a first port of a redundancy selection device to a first port of a first data telecommunications device;

    coupling a second interface of the first port of the redundancy selection device to a first port of a second data telecommunications device;

    coupling data and/or power received over the first interface of the first port of the redundancy selection device to provide data and/or power to a third interface of the first port of the redundancy selection device;

    detecting a failure in the flow of data and/or power; and

    activating the redundancy selection device in response to said detecting to subsequently use data and/or power received over the second interface of the first port of the redundancy selection device to provide data and/or power to the third interface.
